    ok well actually its my brother but anyway

    he is buying a 22" hd ready flat panel will he be able to use the 360 its full hd capabilities out of the box or are there any cables or **** to buy extra?

    the hard drive is only 20 can this be upgraded with any hard drive down the line (like i think the ps3 can?)

    are rainbow 6, gears of war and pgr the best games to get with it or what else would you recomend?

    finally what are the chances of him experiencing this red circle bull**** that people talk about (its his first pay packet and i just wana make sure hes not wasting his money by getting this instead of building a pc)

    edit; also will the xbox pick up the wifi in the house or can i get something to make it do that?

    As long as the tv has component inputs, yeah. If not and it has dvi or vga then he'll need to get an adapter. If it's hdmi only then he's kinda screwed.

    You mean like an external hd? afaik no. But he'll be able to get the 120gb hd whenever that becomes available.

    All good choices.

    Same chance as anyone else really, the failure rate is still very high. But he'll have a 3 year warranty protecting him if anything does go wrong.

    Not out of the box. You can get a wireless adapter for it but it's expensive.
